Cleans up raw changelog bullets (removes code-speak titles, expands
TODO descriptions) and merges them into the existing 9.4.8 features
and fixes sections alongside the Kibana/Security entries.

## Summary

Curates the Kibana 9.4.8 core release notes from the generator draft
against build candidate `9.4.8-ab7c9581` (Kibana commit
`e480f260be8f73cfb3424961a59867631291a2dd`). See dev issue
elastic/dev#3634

This pass:

- Keeps Kibana core changes and drops Elastic Observability solution,
Elastic Security solution, and internal-only entries
- Publishes 9.4.8 as Fixes only. Enhancements sit in their product
sections under Fixes
- Reuses the published wording for PRs that shipped in earlier versions,
and matches the 9.5.5 and 8.19.23 notes
- Adds Fleet PRs that the generator missed because they carry only
`Team:streams-ui`, plus `elastic#285874`, `elastic#291000`, `elastic#291698`, and `elastic#292297`
- Moves 9.4.7 deferrals that landed in this BC into 9.4.8, and deletes
those working comments from the 9.4.7 section
- Defers entries that are not on the `9.4` branch

Out of scope: `elastic#289587` and `elastic#292011` (internal-only).

No breaking changes or deprecations for 9.4.8.

- `docs/release-notes/index.md`
